To nitpick, Wicca was first written about in the early 50's. That's a little bit more than "thirty years."
While there may not have been modern Wiccans more than fifty years ago, there were certainly pagan religions LONG before Christianity. Even teh holey babble talks about the Pagan peoples. And if there weren't all those Pagans around, how would Christians been able to pull an Eric Bauman and take Pagan holy days and slap their own meanings all over them?
But...but...you fundies say the world is 6000 years old but Christianity has been around for only 2000 years. Even by your view of history, Christianity has not been around since the beginning of time.
Not only that, but it can be shown that practically every facet of the Christian religion was adapted from other, older religions.

I don't know about the time frame, but yes, Wicca was started in the 20th century.

Nice. The Bible is true because it just is, right?
Translation: "My made-up religion is better than your made-up religion."
Seriously, I gleefully agree with the point against Wiccanism (and the implied point against Scientology) they are mere inventions by people, no more "true" than a Xanth novel or a Ponzi scheme.
That said, however, the contention that Christianity is "true" by default simply because of its age is laughable -- not just because it's a useless criterion to determine truth, but because there are older religions (including Judaism, the one that spawned it)! ALL religion is either a lie or a delusion, based on nothing but fear and fantasy -- regardless of whether it is 20 years old or 20 centuries old.

Wicca? Thirty years old? Are you kidding me? Paganism and wicca is the oldest religion known. Not hard, since its a nature-based religion, the most ancient of civilisations followed many traditions and sabbats that have become wicca today...thirty years old? Thats insane. And no, not since the beginning of time have you had proof. I just cant see dinosaurs praying nightly.
.......... HOLY FUCK THE BIBLE'S PROOF?
oh wait, we made that a few thousand years ago. oh, and a few cagillion years after the creation of the universe/earth. haha, forgot.
"you know whats stupid?"
Yes. You.

Just take a look in that extremely shiny mirror of yours for the answer, pal.

While modern new religious movements appeared, some of the concepts go way back. Druids and animism existed in prehistory. Christianity is relatively recent, actually, derived from older Abrahamic and Judaic traditions, that were themselves newer than polytheistic semitic traditions, which is more recent than druidism, animism, fertility cults, etc. You need an actual history book, not bullshit for church or homeschooling. BTW, your particular reality denying Christian fundamentalist cult, that does not represent older Christianity, and sports new mythology, is also a specific new reincarnation.
Confused?
